Tailings Dam Monitoring Program

Instrumentation layout and numerical back-analysis for a raising tailings facility.

Overview

Integrated monitoring program linking piezometers, inclinometers, and survey data to a numerical stability model updated each raise season.

Automated alert thresholds and quarterly review workflows were implemented for the owner’s geotechnical governance team.
